[SOLVED]RE: Mounting 250mb Zip Drive (Internel)
Mark was right, it was in /dev/hdd.
So I just had to
mount /dev/hdd /mnt/zip1
And it worked like a charm!!

The device is probably /dev/hdd, then, so try /dev/hdd4. Also, to see
the partition table, use 'fdisk /dev/hdd' and print the table.
You should be able to see hdd somewhere in dmesg. If not, you may not
have built the necessary kernel modules.
